问题    Many men and women have long bought into the idea that there are "male" and "female" brains, believing that explains just about every difference between the sexes. A new study【C1】______that belief, questioning whether brains really can be distinguished by gender.
   In the study, Tel Aviv University researchers 【C2】______ for sex differences throughout the entire human brain. And what did they find? Not much. Rather than offer evidence for 【C3】______ brains as "male" or "female," research shows that brains fall into a wide range, with most people falling right in the middle.
   Daphna Joel, who led the study, said her research found that while there are some gender-based 【C4】______, many different types of brain can’ t always be distinguished by gender.
   While the "average" male and "average" female brains were【C5】______different, you couldn’t tell it by looking at individual brain scans. Only a small【C6】______of people had "all-male" or "all-female" characteristics.
   Larry Cahill, an American neuroscientist (神经科学家), said the study is an important addition to a growing body of research questioning【C7】______beliefs about gender and brain function. But he cautioned against concluding from this study that all brains are the same,【C8】______of gender. "There ’ s a mountain of evidence【C9】______the importance of sex influences at all levels of brain function," he told The Seattle Times. If anything, he said, the study【C10】______that gender plays a very important role in the brain "even when we are not clear exactly how."
   A) abnormal B) applied C) briefly D) categorizing
   E) challenges F) figure G) percentage H) proving
   I) regardless J) searched K) similarities L) slightly
   M) suggests N) tastes O) traditional [br] 【C5】
选项
答案 L
解析 空格前为be动词的过去式were，后为形容词different，该空格处的词是来修饰different的，因此应填入副词，因此在slightly和briefly之间进行选择。结合文意“虽然普通男性和普通女性的大脑差别很小，但是通过查看脑部扫描光片也没法对其进行区分”可知，slightly为副词，意为“轻微地，稍微”，故选L。
